The past few weeks have been busy with football games, and girl scouting outings. Leila is in a Daisy troop that includes a lot of little girls that not only live in our neighborhood, but are also, for the most part, in her kindergarten class. She has a few girls that she seems to be particularly close to, and I am happy that they are in her troop as well. Not only does she get to spend time with friends that she has been bonding with in school, but she also gets the opportunity to spend time with other little girls that live close by and are in different kindergarten sections. All of the girls are adorable and sweet, and I have enjoyed getting to know them. Luckily, there are also lots of little siblings close to Thea’s age, so the events can be fun for the whole family.

"What I want to say to you is that sometimes life catches you by surprise and you feel unequipped to handle what it brings you, but every bit of life you've lived before that moment equips you to live through it. That's what I would give to you."
-Fanni Victoria Green-Lemons (talking to her daughter)

If there is any secret to this life I live, this is it: the sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can, there is nothing more to it than that.

"The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."
